James Pate

Grand Opening of Black Palette Art Gallery

April 13, 2023 By Dayton937

Renowned fine artist, graphic designer, art educator, and consultant James Pate will now add gallerist to his robust resume. Pate, along with his partner in life and business, multi-dimensional entrepreneur Shola Odumade, will open Black Palette Art Gallery on the main corridor of the Historic Wright Dunbar Business District.

The grand opening celebration on April 21st will include a ribbon cutting & dedication ceremony at 11am and an opening reception from 5-10pm featuring interactive art-making, refreshments, live music, and fine artwork & retail merchandise for sale. All festivities are free and open to the public.

Art production, consumption, education, and consulting are at the core of Pate and Odumade’s vision for the space. They endeavor to provide an inspirational and immersive art experience, promote artists and help springboard careers, and be a conduit for community building and holistic prosperity.

Black Palette’s inaugural exhibit features selected original works by Pate. Future exhibitions will spotlight an all-encompassing array of local, regional, national, and international artists and showcase a broad assortment of art genres, subject matter, mediums, and materials. In addition to serving as an art showroom and studio, the gallery will be a vibrant hub for a wide range of programming and activities, including workshops, gallery talks, pop-up events, live performances, film screenings, first Friday happy hours, art collector groups, exhibit road trips, public & private functions, and more.

The name Black Palette has layered significance that not only embodies reverence for a people and their unparalleled depth and breadth of creativity and culture; but, on a wider scale, is a nod to the financial term “in the black” and affirms an intention to foster far-reaching economic empowerment, wealth, and solvency via high-quality productivity. It recognizes and honors Black achievement by celebrating, highlighting, and augmenting the profound influence and brilliance of African Americans and their invaluable contributions to artistic and fiscal vitality worldwide.

Paul Laurence Dunbar: Beyond the Mask

March 25, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

On Saturday, April 1st, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park will host an exclusive showing of a brand new documentary film on the life and legacy of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Paul Laurence Dunbar: Beyond the Mask is a new film showcasing the life and legacy of the internationally renowned African American poet and author. Written and directed by Frederick Lewis, and co-produced by Lewis and Joseph Slade, the film took more than eight years to create and received support from the Ohio Humanities Council and major funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The film will be shown in the auditorium of the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center at 16 South Williams Street in Dayton. There will be two screenings for the public on April 1st. The first screening will begin at 1:00 P.M. and the second screening will begin at 4:00 P.M. The film is approximately two hours long. After each screening, the film’s producers will be on hand to discuss the film and to answer questions from the audience.

This special screening is free for the public to attend, but due to limited seating in the park’s auditorium, an RSVP is requested. To RSVP for this event, please send an email to: daav.rsvp@gmail.com with “Film RSVP” in the subject line. Please be sure to include your name, how many people total (including yourself) will be attending and which screening time (1:00 P.M. or 4:00 P.M.) you and your guests will be attending. You can also call the park at 937-225-7705 to RSVP. A light assortment of food and refreshments will be available at both screenings.

“Paul Laurence Dunbar: Beyond the Mask” features Willis “Bing” Davis, James Pate, Herbert Martin, LaVerne Sci, and a host of others, and is a production of the Central Region Humanities Center at Ohio University.

Kettering Cultural Arts Manager Picks Her Top Moments in Dayton Visual Arts 2013

January 6, 2014 By Shayna McConville 1 Comment

Dayton was home to numerous amazing art exhibitions, collaborations and projects in 2013. Although there were many, many more superb events that are not on this list, the arts listed below serves as a glimpse into the vitality of the Dayton region’s creative folks and spaces! Enjoy!

A collaborative project between artist Leesa Haapapuro and the Young People’s Homeschoolers program at K12 Gallery culminated into a short show at the Dayton Visual Arts Center. The young circus performers next to their murals, sculptures and paintings, created an incredible new world of possibility and magic for youth and adults.

Nam June Paik and Jud Yalkut, Beatles Electroniques, 1969

One of Dayton’s most treasured artists, Jud Yalkut was revered for his advocacy of the arts, his pioneer video works, his collages and his writing.  The exhibition captured many of his artworks, including special screenings of his film and video works, many of which hadn’t been seen by the public in decades.  Jud passed away in July 2013, marking an end of an era and a huge loss to the Dayton arts community.  Learn more about the his timely retrospective and career here.

Emily Evans, Untitled (Twin Towers), 2012

As evidence of Dayton’s vitality, a special project launched in January captures the city’s pulse. Local radio station WYSO 91.3 and filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar teamed-up to create the multi-platform media project Reinvention Stories, a series of audio stories and short films of Dayton and its residents. The project, instigated by WYSO’s general manager Neenah Ellis, is based on a series of questions: how does a city of inventors reinvent itself? How are individuals reinventing themselves? How are people dealing with the economic turmoil of recent years? How is Dayton doing? Through this documentation, a collection of videos and photographs were selected by Eva Buttacavoli, Executive Director of the Dayton Visual Arts Centre, and partnership with the Dayton Visual Arts Center and WYSO 91.3. Learn more bout the project at http://www.reinventionstories.org.

Object of Devotion:
Medieval English Alabaster Sculpture from the Victoria and Albert Museum
Dayton Art Institute
October 26  – January 5, 2014

Anonymous, English, The Fifth Sign of the Last Judgment, c. 1440-1470. Courtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

A stunning collection of medieval alabaster sculptures, on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum, demonstrate the dramatic, narrative and intricate scenes interpreted from biblical texts.  An art form popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, alabasters were considered a low-end of medieval craft for centuries. Over 40 examples at the Dayton Art Institute show the merit of this art form, which finally gained recognition by scholars and collectors in the twentieth century.

Bullet: Who Pulls the Trigger?
Art Street, University of Dayton
September 24 – November 3

bullet_DECA

James Pate and DECA students collaborative drawing

Art Street presented a complicated, difficult and important question within the multi-faceted collaborative art installation with artist James Pate, Dayton Early College Academy, South Chicago Art Center and Newtown, CT artists. Focused on creating a dialogue on issues of gun violence with a focus on South Chicago, Newtown and Dayton, panel discussions were a major component to the gallery exhibition. Artworks included New York artist S.B. Woods’ Meditation on Mourning, paintings made by Sandy Hook shooting survivors, Dayton-based artist James Pate and a group of DECA high school students. From the website: “This piece was conceived in part by James Pate, and in part by the students. After a conversation about gun violence, the students came to the consensus that ‘we as a society pull the trigger.’” Chicago artist Sarah Ward and students from the South Chicago Art Center created etchings of bullets to symbolize one for every person affected by gun violence on a daily basis. Read more about the exhibition here.

Dia de los Muertos
November 1

 

Dayton’s Day of the Dead parade and celebration took place on Friday, November 1, from the Oregon District to the historic St. Anne’s Hill neighborhood.  Hundreds of folks participated, many donning costumes and painted faces as music, art and food commemorated our loved ones. Stivers School for the Arts students, professional and emerging musicians and artists contributed to the celebration.  Spearheaded by volunteers, including Jean Howat Berry, MB Hopkins, Tonia Fish, Lisa Grigsby, and several others, the event found support from the community in its crowdsourcing fundraiser, as well as Welcome Dayton’s sponsoring of the parade, and Missing Peace Art Space and the Unitarian Fellowship for World Peace hosting.
